Eastern Chipmunk

Original - An eastern chipmunk (Tamias striatus) with its cheek pouches filled. Chipmunks use their expandable cheek pouches for transporting excavated earth away from the burrow or transporting foraged food for winter consumption to the burrow.

Reason

High quality and good EV, especially because it exhibits a common chipmunk behavior. And besides, can you resist the cuteness?
